This page is a public wiki hosted by Treasury Board of Canada’s (TBS) Black Employees Network (B.E.N.) to facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The TBS Black Employees Network Group on GCconnex, provides a safe space to discuss barriers faced by Black employees and to have real conversations about inclusion, anti‑Black racism and discrimination.
B.E.N. provides a unique opportunity to be part of a forum to reflect upon the reality of racism and discrimination in the workplace. We all have a role to play in dismantling anti-Black racism in the GC and in Canada.
To all public servants: we encourage you to join us in taking a stand. Join the Black Employees Network Group on GCconnex, and explore the resources, events and announcements posted on this page.
